Drooping Willows Fractional

Sorry for the skips Kyndt. </3 Its been a few days and I want to get Bridget's point docs. stopped.

Elettra's threats were harsh and filled with deep promise. Her attention on the woman hard in wait of judgement to her reaction. Would she back down and thus, show a sign she was uncertain of her loyalty and wished not to be on a hit-list there after? Would she be fearful, agressive? Elettra dared a snotty remark from the other woman's lips and instead, is fed little. She is unphased, much as Erebos had been when Elettra had threatened him much the same. The woman is pleased, a smirk toying at her lips. "Scout and Guard the borders as you please for now. Come spring, I'd like Hunter out of you. We've a lot of stocking up to do." Her words offered a certain acceptance of the woman. Despite the circumstances and the uncertainty of survival the woman would gain by being in a pack, Quin still wished to join the group. Given this, Elettra was willing to give her a shot. Now, shifting her attention back to the kill, Elettra's eyes roamed Skana's own facial features, seeking out anything that might suggest that her decision was not for the best. After all, Skana was both her advisor and second and had upheld both titles for quite a time now. Offering this brief moment, Elettra's body shifted downward, readying herself to eat. "Come. Get your strength up." Elettra would offer to her newest member before she herself began eating from the kill. Perhaps they would not be able to gorge as they would have otherwise willed, but getting something to eat was better then nothing before they dragged what was left to the rest of the pack to share.

xD No problem, I'm such as slow poke, glad you guys kept going!

At Elettra's signal Skana reached for the meat, tearing into the carrion. It was dry and cold, and reminded her of that miserable winter she had spent alone as a scavenging beast, but in this moment the frozen chunk of moose might as well have been from the freshest kill. It was delicious, but even gulping down just a few stringy scraps and nowhere near full, she had to stop as she swallowed back a tide of nausea. Surely, she had just eaten too fast, or the food was too old. She straightened herself, stepping back from the carcass and focusing on the prospective member before them. Slightly distracted by the new discomfort at her stomach, she focused on breathing. Throwing up in front of what could be a new member would probably not go over too well.

Coquina's mention of her set of skills caught Skana's attention, her ears perking up as she listened. While they were in the thick of winter without any hint that there was another side of it, Skana had to believe spring would come. The pack would have to be prepared for it, and having wolves ready and able to take advantage of the return of life to the area would greatly benefit the wolves of the Ridge. Skana caught Elettra's glance, giving a curt nod of approval.

With an appreciative nod of her bear-like head, the woman steps forth. Her muzzle lowers downward before she parts her jaws. As she rips into the cold flesh of the carcass, her ears twitch as she watches Skana straighten up next to her. A spark of curiosity flickers through the off-white wolf, but she remains silent and respectful. The meat was chewy but edible. It was a gift from nature, anyway. Coquina had begun to daydream about the moose when it was actually alive. The image of a great beast with its ribs bared came to mind. The winter was taking a toll on all of the wildlife.

Her gaze remains still on the corpse as she is stuck in thought. Her jaws work the meat, and she swallows the chunks quickly. Having not wanting to take a lot, she licks her maw to indicate satisfaction. Though her stomach still yearned for more, she knew her new family would need to eat as well. "My loyalty will not fade, I promise you both." Her tone was still rather serious. Her gold-brown eyes look upward now to the strained limbs of the willows. She was tired of seeing white all the time. The images of fields of grass and grazing deer began to haunt her mind. How she wished it was spring. She would remain with her new family for what would hopefully be the remainder of her life.

"I was due for a new life." She speaks simply; she is unsure of how Elettra and Skana converse. Through observation she would grow more comfortable. For the moment, though, she spoke in a straight-forward fashion.
